harry reid says we move on to the next thing and that's the end of it. >> that's the way they do it. they double track it. what do you think is going to be the way the senate decides this? will it be partisan whether they decide to go to a real filibuster, you go to the mattresses, you stay up all night and force quorum calls over and over again? what do you think is going to be the politics of this? >> the politics right now is mitch mcconnell is opposing any change in the rules because he has the advantage of paralyzing the senate with no public accountability. the talking filibuster forces his process to be done before the american people, and i think he realizes the american people are not going to like what they say. and yet that's where it should be. if you don't have the courage of your convictions to stand before the american people and say i am obstructing this bill and here is why, then, in fact, you should shut up, sit down, and let the vote go forward, and there's no silver bullet here, but creating this public visibility so there's time and effort put into a filibuster a

it's really the big question that senator reid has to do because i'll tell you, they're not going to get the republicans they need to make this rules change. >> you know, senator, back in 1957 when nixon was vice president, he tried to do this from the vice president's chair. he tried to declare the senate a new body, like the house is a new body every two years, a new congress. and he tried to do it. it was the democrats who backed up the segregationists, and they defeated him. he tried to do this single-handedly. what do you think are the odds of you winning this one? >> i think the odds are fairly good, and the reason why is that each time there's been a ruling in the past, it's been actually in favor of the constitutional option or as a constitutional issue it's been put to the body and the body has then -- for example, in 1975 voted that, indeed, 51 could change the rules. that set the stage for a negotiation. so there is the possibility that if 51 are in place and ready to act, that we will be able to persuade republicans, look, you have concerns. you want to be able to do amen
